Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 8, 1915.

Application filed August 1, 1914. Serial No. 854,550.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALFRED S. ORCHARD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, Philadelphia county, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented and discovered certain new and useful Improve- I described and claimed.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, which are made a part hereof and on which similar reference characters indicate similar parts, Figure 1 is a perspective View of the rim or sides of the galley as it appears be fore bent into form for use, Fig. 2 a perspective view of said rim bent into galley form and also showing the bottom or floor of the galley separate therefrom, Fig. 3 a perspective view of the parts shown in Fig. 2 assembled, and Fig. 4: a'detail section through one side of the galley to illustrate the construction more clearly.

In said drawings, the portions marked A represent the rim or side frame of the galley and B the bottom thereof.

The rim A is in one piece and of the form clearly shown in the drawings, being in effect of a channel-iron shape on its outside with the lower flange 1O doubled and its underfpart extending inward beyond the inner face line of the rim to afford a support for the floor of the galley. The space between the two parts of this double flange is of a width corresponding to. the thickness of said bottom so that the bottom can slide into the groove thus formed with a close fit. The upper flange 11 is for the purpose of lending rigidity or stiflness to the sides of the galley. Said side piece or rim is formed of a single piece of appropriate metal, rolled or stamped out with appropriate dies, and having notches w and a through the flanges 10 and 11, to permit the rim to be easily and The floor B is a metal plate of appropriate form and after being slid into place in the groove formed by the flange 10 of the rim A, is secured by being spot-welded, soldered, riveted, or secured in any other approved mannen When thus secured the whole structure is very solid and rigid and at the same time comparatively inexpensive.

Having thus fully described my said invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A printers galley comprising a rim formed of a single piece of metal having outwardly extending flanges at its top and bottom edge, the lower flange being doubled with a groove between its two parts to receive the floor of the galley and said flanges corners of the back of the galley and bent with the parts outside of said cut-out portions at right angles to the part between said cut-out portions, a floor consisting of a metal plate inserted in the groove in said lower flange of the rim and rigidly secured therein, substantially as set forth.

2. A printers galley comprising a onepiece rim bent into appropriate form and having outwardly projecting flanges at its upper and lower edges, the lower flange being formed doubled with a groove between the two parts thereof, and a floor plate mounted in said groove and secured to said rim, substantially as set forth.

3. A printers galley comprising a one piece rim bent into appropriate form and having outwardly projecting flanges notched at the bends in said rim, the lower flange being formed doubled, anda floor plate secured in the groove between the two parts of said lower flange, substantially as set forth.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, this 8th day of July, A. D. nineteen hundred and fourteen.
